    However, does anyone know if I need fresh lemons, or will lemon juice (the kind you get for pancakes) suffice

    I use lemon juice and it's always worked fine for me.

    Added on list - 'clean inside of microwave' - thanks for the reminder :)

    Well I spent my HHC packing some clothes for the holiday as I'd got piles all over the place so they're all packed now - still got more packing to do biut the rest either needs ironing or getting out of drawers. I also decluttered half a tooth on a curly wurly and spent 10 mins trying to get through to the dentist.

    Thanks for the warm welcome! ANd thank you Valli for that tip about the water. I am emailing from work account to personal account now, so I can always refer back to it, and try to keep it fresh in my mind.

    Keep thinking of other things I need to do! lol

    the TV which has been in the LR since January 1, unused and in the way has been relocated to DD#'d room. It won't pick up a live signal but she can use it with the Wii and play DVDs on it. So shuffling in her room is ongoing. The grand plan is to buy a wall bracket but the co-op is all out atm.

    I'm gonna clean the LR now...
